ToolStrip ComboBox Using Data Bound Item?
May 4, 2009I have created a search/query facility after watching one of Beth Messi's videos. I notice that we can convert the textboxes on the auto generated search toolstrip to buttons, comboxes, etc. So, when we wanna search for a data in the datagridview, we enter a keyword. I wonder if it is possible to change the textboxes to comboboxes and make it bind to the datasources, so that users can use the drop down, instead of typing?
View 6 RepliesVS 2008 Changing Bound Data When Entering Text In ComboBox?
Aug 9, 2009I have a data-bound combobox that pulls values from a BindingList(of T). Combobox loads fine, correct values are displayed (I'm not using SelectedItem or SelectedValue). I'm using properties and connecting the data to the control via a bindingsource.
What I want is if the user types text into the combobox, I want the data from the bound table to change to that new text, i.e. edit the bound data directly.
Easy as pie to do with a textbox, but can't seem to get a combobox to work this way.
I was trying to use the validated event of the combobox to write the data to the datasource, but it doesn't fire when I press enter. Is that the way to do it? Can I not link the data to the combobox directly?

Set Bound Combobox Based On Value Of ValueMember?
Jan 25, 2010I am using a bound combobox control in a vb.net application. How do I set the combo box to an item if I know the value of the ValueMember, but I don't know the DisplayMember. I can use the FindExactString method if I know the DisplayMember, but not if I only know the ValueMember.In explanation, the value member is an employee Number, the display member is the Name. I get the employee number from a detail item in another table and now I want to set the combobox to display the Name that goes with that detail item.
Can someone post some vb code to show how to do this.

Combobox Taking Values From Another Table Than That To Which It Is Bound?
Mar 18, 2010I have looked all over the web for a way to set up a VB 2008 combobox but what I have seen makes me shudder! I want to , as In Access VBA, set the recordsource/datasource for the combobox i.e. the list shown in the combobox, to the values of another table (currency) and then when the user selects one of these values to store it in the (already) bound field of the combobox (to another table). In Access of course there was a wizard for this sort of thing, but in VB 2008 looks like it is just lots of code.

View 1 RepliesValidating And Storing Selections From A Dataset Bound Combobox
Oct 20, 2009I have a combobox that is bound to a dataset. The dataset has 3 columns of data. at any given time there could NOT be any data in the dataset.
When someone selects an item from the box I want to store data from 2 of the columns of the row they selected.I do the 'store' in the selectedindexchanged event.
so currently I am assigning each column/row value to a property from a datarowview i get from combobox.selecteditem.
Code:dim column1 = drv.row.item(0).tostringdim column2 = drv.row.item(1).tostring
But I am getting NullReference exceptions all over the place when there is not data.So i have to wrap it all in a try catch and assign nothing to the properties when the Null exception fires.
I want to also validate that there is a selection made. There must be a selection made if there is no data in the DS fill it.I do this in the combobox validate event.
It just seems like there is a better way to check for no data coming from the combobox.
I wish there was a way to do some sort of .count on the datarowview you get back from the combobox.selecteditem but anything i have found also gives a null ref exception if used.
Also what is used to programmaticly change the selected item?
